To all whom t may concern.' o

Be it known that we,lonn{r L. Dozinn and EZRA C. IInnnoN, citizens 'of the United States, residing at Broken/Bow, `in the county offlVIcCurtain, and State of Oklahoma, have invented certain new/and useful Improvements in ShampooingAttachnients, of which the following is a specification. o LThis invention relates generallyy to barberschairs, and more particularly,to anr improved attachment therefor, andvhas for its object, the provision of means whereby the shampooing of a person-s hair may be conveniently done without'v the Y:necessity of having the person moved from the chair.' A l Further objects of the inyention are to enable the worker to more eiiiciently sham-v poo a persons hair; to prevent the wetting` of the wearing apparel of the person and further, to avoid other disagreeableinconveniences incident ,to the method as hereto-l fore employed, such asy the running of soapy water into the eyes, etc. Y A n Other l.and further' iinprovement sv and novel details in the construction andarrangement of parts'willvbe appreciated from the description to follow,l which for a clear understanding of jthe invention should ybe considered in connection with the accompanying drawing, forming apart hereof and wherein the preferred embodiment of the invention is shown "for the purpose of illustration.

In the drawingsa Figure 1 is a side elevation of our im;V

proved device as applied to a barbers chair.

Fig. 2 is a longitudinal section through the head rest of the chair, showing a fragment of the draining apron supporting members.

Fig. 3 is a transverse section through the receptacle showing the arrangement of the draining apron with lrelation thereto,

Fig. 4 is a transverse section through the draining apron and Fig. 5 is a transverse section through the supporting legs of the receptacle.

With more particular reference to the drawings, wherein like reference rnumerals refer to corresponding parts throughout the several views, we have shown by way of illustration, our improved attachment as used in conjunction with the' conventional form of barbers chair, the same being indicated in its entirety bv the numeral 1 and comprising a rotatable seat 2, which carries tiifpon a petal tati; @ne @van foot rest 4,.whereby, the occupant ofthe chair may be moved to a reclining positioiifv A Headrest 5 is adjiist'abiyengaged,with the upper portion of the back 3 and has ai'- lttnsjtd thereupon. ti Suitable Padding 6- wiei met@ @Special preferente te the present uinloremeate.there is rrfrded t Subs/ttm? tiallyjshapefd supporting frame, the later.-l ally extending portions .71 thereof being. en.-4

apron 10, formed from a suitable-,water f Proef fabric. is engaged with@ the z 'tufted bottom Portion 9.01 thee-Shaped fremtfand the lateral portions` 7 o thereof, theouter po=rtions ofthe lsaid apron beingarranged about thefraine, at 11,l shown in Figand, if

desired,VA may Abe secured thereaboutthrough the 4medium' of anfadhesive vmatter/.gort A,the outermost edges thereof may be seeuredlto the body portion of theapron by stitching.

A Vportion of the apron 10A-entends` beyond the urretetldf .0f .thelattral nettime 7I and is adapted to be arranged upon the head rest 5, thus, providing kmeans whereby all water dripping from the head of the person may be conveyed to the receptacle, the construction of which will be presently described. It may be here noted, that the apron 10 is loosely arranged between the lateral portions 7 of the U-shaped frame. Consequently, the same will, when placed in position, provide a substantially@ concave draining' member.

In order to provideV means whereby the water used during, the shampooing operation vmay be received, there is provided a receptacle or basin 13, the same being supported upon .a triangular stand, which includes a plurality of vertically disposed supporting legs 14, the upper extremities of which are Vbent at suitable angles to the body Vportion thereof, whereby, to eficiently receive and retain the receptacle 13 therebetween, these portions being indicated in general, by the numeral 15. A plurality of connecting and bracing members 16 areeni gaged with the supporting legs 14, inten inediatethel ends thereof and, as will be obvious prevent spreading of thesame. The lower or curved portion 9 of the U-shaped frame, carrying the draining apron 10 thereupon is received within the receptacle, the

Said curved portion 9 allowing the draining apron to conform to the curvature of the receptacle, as shown in the Fig. 3. Handles lfare secured to the receptacle 13, at" desired pointsand afford means whereby the Same may be lifted from the supporting legs 14 and the contents'thereof emptied. f

` In operation, theporti'on 12 of the apron 10 is arranged about the head rest 5, while the lower portion of the apron as arranged upontthe U-shaped frame is received by the receptacle 13, which Vhad been previously due to the position of the persons head, all

Water applied to the hair will bevcaused'to flow V,directly to the kconcaved drainingy apronlO, thus, preventingthe same from .f coming into engagement with the eyes, ears,`

i etc.

Changes of the water during the sham-- pooing operation may be made, as conditions or preference may dictate, the receptacle`13 being readily removed from its supporting s stand, by means of thehaiidle 16 arranged thereupon,

.While we have disclosed and described with a considerable degree of particularity constructional details ,of the device embody-4;

Copiesof tliis patent may liey obtained for AS the ing our invention, is to be understood that theinvention is not limited to theparticular form and arrangement of the several parts, which, may be modified within a wide range without departing from the ess-ence of the invention, the construction shown and the description based thereon, being inytended to be taken in an illustrative rather than a limiting sense.

yWe claim:

i 1. In a shampooing attachment for barbers chairs, having a head rest, the combination with a receptacle, of a substantially U-shaped frame, the lateral extremitiesV of said frame being engaged with the chair head rest and extending into said receptacle, and a draining apron 'supported upon said frame and arranged about said head rest for collecting such water used during the shampooing operation and conveying the same into the receptacle.

2. In a shampooing attachment for bai'beis chairsV having a head rest, the Combination with a receptacle, of a substantially 'U- shaped frame having'the lateral extremities thereof engaged with said' -head rest, the base portion of the frame being bent to conform to ythe curvature voff-the receptacle yand arranged therein, and a draining apron loosely arranged upon said frameand'engaged with said head rest for collecting such water used during the shampooing operation and conveying the same into the receptacle.
